You can't really tell it by my latest selvage projects, but my heart really belongs to traditional quilting. I love old fashioned traditional quilts, reproduction fabrics and hand quilting. This quilt, Rebecca's Legacy, was one of my favorite quilts at the
Quilters' Heritage Celebration. It was made by Barbara Diem of Watchung, NJ and is her version of a quilt that was made by her great-great-grandmother, Rebecca Miles, during the late 1840's.
Tiny squares, eight pointed stars, an appliqued border, and wonderful hand quilting make up this gorgeous 76x88 inch quilt. It's no wonder that it won the blue ribbon in the 100 Pieced Traditional category...it was absolutely breathtaking!

I love traditional quilts. I love scrap quilts. I love applique mixed with piecing. And this is one of the most gorgeous quilts I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteTraditionals are certianly tops aren't they. But I have loved seeing your selvage rpojects, they make me smile as well.
ReplyDeleteAre those tied 3-d bows in the applique swags?
